An update to the Custom Pages section (The "Pages" tab in your Site Admin) is now live, and focuses on providing more flexibility to your custom pages.
BBcode or HTML - Your Choice
You now have the option to choose what your custom page will be rendered with, either BBcode or HTML. The BBcode option is the default for new pages, as for text pages it is by far the easier choice; select the HTML option when you want to embed an iframe, another web page or flash content.
*note: As we previously only had one renderer for custom pages (HTML), we enabled some BBcode tags for convenience in it; these tags were causing problems for some users attempting to use HTML on the page. Now that we have a BBcode option, BBcode tags are no longer enabled with the HTML renderer with the exception of the item tag; instead if you wish to use BBcode in your custom page you should choose the BBcode renderer. You may need to check your pages if you were using both BBcode and HTML in your pages.
Custom Page Sets
Custom Pages can now be grouped together into a Page Set, which will create a tabbed menu within them allowing you to easily navigate to the other pages within the set.
Custom Page Permissions
You can now set a Permission level on a Custom Page, restricting who may be able to view it to members with that permission level or above.
Edit From Your Guild Site
Custom Pages can now be edited from your Guild Site; so if you notice a typo or want to make a quick change to the pages content, you no longer have to pop back into the Site Admin
BBcode update - Vimeo Support
You can use [vimeo] tags with our BBcode system now to embed vimeo videos within your site; they work exactly the same as [youtube] and [gvideo] tags. Example: [vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/302284[/vimeo]
Updates to the Awards and DKP section are already underway and will be some of the next updates to go live on the site =)
With this update you have the option to use the BBcode parser or the HTML parser for a custom page; BBcode was removed from the HTML parser as it was causing problems for some users attempting to enter HTML or paste HTML from outside sources that was being altered by the BBcode parser and breaking the HTML.
Most users have very few custom pages and they are mostly setup as text content, which can quickly be edited and converted to the BBcode parser; we hoped this would cause only a minor inconvenience for a few users, and we would have a more correct system in place then (BBcode for text content, HTML for html content).
In your case I see you have a lot of custom pages, more than twice as many as any other site actually, and they each have a mix of bbcode and html; to try and help make this easier for you I went and updated each of your pages for you, so hopefully that helps =) [only 2 of your pages I could not update for you, I sent you an email with some info for them]
Can anyone help me or show me where i could find this info?
Thanks
We do not allow custom HTML within the main layout, but I sent you an email about this with some other ideas you can try to include links to your guild alliances =)
